Tony Blair Arrested.

You may have read that Tony Blair was given something of a surprise un-welcome when he visited a restaurant. Twiggy Garcia was working at Tramshed in East London when the opportunity arose to confront the former warmongering Prime Minister. As Mr Blair was dining with friends and family, the DJ turned barman laid a hand on the former Prime Minister’s shoulder and tried to arrest him for “crimes against peace. Namely the decision to launch an unprovoked war against Iraq.”

The website that inspired Twiggy Garcia's actions, is George Monbiot's Arrest Blair website, has now awarded him a quarter of their funds, a total of £2222. Mr Monbiot explained Twiggy Garcia's actions satisfied their conditions as he not only attempted the citizen's arrest but attracted the attention of the media. In Mr Monbiot’s words the bounty is deserved for “keeping the issue – and the memories of those who have been killed – alive, and sustaining the pressure to ensure that international law binds the powerful as well as the puny."Teflon Tony it seems continues to live up to his nickname. I have always thought that there is considerably more to this story than meets the eye. Prime ministers have a certain way of distorting the truth for instance the recent revelations about Thatcher and the miners strike. For Bliar Blair it all hinged on weapons of mass destruction that did not exist. Weapons inspectors who mysteriously commit suicide after revealing that there were no weapons. The document Iraq – Its Infrastructure of Concealment, Deception and Intimidation (more commonly known as the Dodgy Dossier) was the document used by the British Prime Minister Tony Blair's and his New Labour government. It was issued to journalists by Alastair Campbell, Blair's Director of Communications and Strategy, and concerned Iraq and weapons of mass destruction. These documents were ultimately used by the government to justify its involvement in the invasion of Iraq.

The term Dodgy Dossier came around with Glen Rangwala's discovery that much of the work in the Iraq Dossier had been plagiarised from various unattributed sources. The most notable source was an article by then graduate student Ibrahim al-Marashi, entitled Iraq's Security and Intelligence Network: A Guide and Analysis. Whole sections of Marashi's writings on "Saddam's Special Security Organisation" were repeated verbatim including typographical errors, while certain amendments were made to strengthen the tone of the alleged findings (e.g., "monitoring foreign embassies in Iraq" became "spying on foreign embassies in Iraq", and "aiding opposition groups in hostile regimes" became "supporting terrorist organisations in hostile regimes").

Without exception, all of the allegations included within the Dossier have been proven to be false, as shown by the Iraq Survey Group.
The document was based on reports made by the Joint Intelligence Committee, part of the British Intelligence. Most of the evidence was uncredited. On publication, serious press comment was generally
critical of the dossier for the lack of any
genuinely evidence.

The Chilcot Inquiry revealed that it was
being denied access to 25 notes sent by Tony Blair to George Bush, and
130 documents relating to conversations between the two architects of
the Iraq War, in addition to dozens of records of cabinet meetings.
Such is the honesty of Blair and Bush. There is no more serious test of a democracy
than the ability to hold its leaders to account over why and how decisions are taken, especially when a war is declared on false pretences and results in a tragic and bloody disaster of the magnitude
of the Iraq War.

The scale of the crime - the estimates range between 500,000 and 1,000,000 deaths and counting as a result of the conflict. I am looking forward to the day when the true evidence about Tony Blair appears on the new My Society SayIt website. I hope it will follow the format of the trial of Charles Taylor who was the 22nd President of Liberia.

Warning: The transcripts located here on SayIt (Click Here) contain large volumes of graphic, harrowing testimony about war crimes.

Summary: In June 2003, whilst he was still president, he was indicted for war crimes and crimes against humanity by the Special Court for Sierra Leone. In August 2003 he resigned and moved to Nigeria in exile. In 2006 he was arrested and charged by the Special Court, which began a legal process which was to last seven years. In April 2012 the Special Court ruled that he was guilty on 11 counts, and was sentenced to 50 years in prison. This is how the serious documents and evidence of war criminals should be published in future.
